Style 230 wheels with spacers

335arctic · 04-16-2011, 05:45 AM

Hi everyone,

I have a 335 with the 230 wheels. I wanted to get a more aggresive stance, therefore I'm in the market for a set of spacers. Anyone have any recommendation on what size spacers for front & rear? anyone with pics of 230 lowered & with spacers?

Thanks

I was thinking about running spacers on the rear wheels to fill in the gap. The thing that stopped me was the recent pictures of a spacer breaking and the guy not knowing it until he took off the wheel.

As long as you use 12mm or bigger spacers, you shouldn't have that problem.

I ran a 12mm spacer in the back with a 265 tires on a 230 rim and it was perfect. Looked much more flush.
